MALVERN competitors represented the City of Worcester club at the West Midland Regional Grades Championships.

All girls passed their respective grades at the Gymnastics and Martial Art Centre in Birmingham to make their hard work of training up to 20 hours a week worthwhile.

In the national grade six contest, Sophie Nicoll and Finley Smith finished first and third respectively. Charlotte Benson- Stelling came fifth in the grade eight equivalent.

Ellie-Mae Leonard was first in the regional level two challenge and Josie Hales third in the club grade 10 competition.

Benson-Stelling, Smith and Nicoll will represent the West Midlands at the British Championships later in the year.

The club have bases at Diglis, Worcester, and Spring Lane, Malvern.
